Project objectives
The overall objective of the joint project is to research a methodology for the safe application of hardware or software modifications to existing wind turbines (WTGs) to increase yield and / or extend operating life. So far optimizations are hardly possible independent of the manufacturer; potentials remain untapped. In the joint project, an additive temporary or permanent system for monitoring critical operating parameters of the WTG will be developed, which can be used on existing WTGs.
Specific contributions and objectives WESys
The sub-project mainly serves the scientific development of the control components of the protection System. Here, the predictive load situation of the wind turbine is to be compared with the given permissible load envelope and, if necessary, a safe transition is initiated. The protection system is tested in simulation, wind tunnel and free field.
